Why does the Fire ask, "Is there more?" while Paradise fills up?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, made Paradise fill up. As for Paradise filling up, what is the secret behind that?
The Shaykh : Because His mercy preceded His wrath.
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, since His mercy preceded His wrath, why does the Fire not get full while Paradise fills up?
The Shaykh : No, the Fire fills up, because when He places His foot upon it, some of it collapses into the rest, and it says, "Enough, enough, I am full." And the fact that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, fills it in this manner is part of the fact that His mercy preceded His wrath.
